We have heard reports in recent months that the launch of Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor lineup, which will likely find its way into next-generation Apple products, has been delayed. While an April/May launch was expected for some of the lineup initially, Intel confirmed in February that the launch would likely be pushed to June. Today, a report fromCPU World that cited various sources claimed the Ivy Bridge CPUs, including both desktop and mobile chips, will launch between April 22 and April 28.

The quad-core chips set for availability on April 29 include the “Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme families, desktop Core i7, Core i5-3570K, i5-3570T, i5-3550, i5-3550S, i5-3450 and i5-3450S.” These CPUs— specifically the Core i7 mobile chips— could likely end up in a future MacBook Pro, while others could land in a next-gen iMac.

As for the Ultra or U-Series low voltage processors that would presumably go into a new MacBook Air, the report claimed those dual-core processors would not launch until June 3. With rumors that Apple is considering a new MacBook Air-like redesign for upcoming MacBook Pros, or possibly combining the two product lines, it is unclear if that device would stick with these ultra low voltage CPUs.
